In 1986 Peter had the idea of growing a chair. Nine years later Peter and Becky became partners. Pooktre was born. Together they have mastered the art they call Pooktre, which is the shaping of trees as they grow in predetermined designs. Some are intended for harvest to be high quality indoor furniture and others will remain living art.

Thanks Blackash!
wow that's really something aless did not no it was possible.
The Victorians (not the Australian Victorians!) were great at this type of tree work. This is pretty intense though.
first time seeing something like this!
it looks like a labour of love to me….Check out Victorian gardens for other examples.
